Defensive Player of The Game: LB Ben Niemann

Over on the defensive side of the ball, numerous players in the front seven got nice pushes and made an impact. One of those guys were linebacker Ben Niemann, who gets our defensive player of the game. Niemann recorded five total tackles in the game, including a huge stuff on fourth-and-1.

Niemann is another player who’s opened some eyes during training camp and has a shot at making the roster. Backup inside linebacker behind Reggie Ragland and Anthony Hitchens is wide open and Niemann has a chance to be the next guy up behind them.
